Off-Grid Swedish Farm Life: How I’m Preparing for Anything

↟↟Preparing for war is no joke, but You need to understand that no one will let you wait out these events at home on the farm. Many mistakenly believe that Russia is an aggressor who wants to conquer the whole of Europe, but the truth is that Russia itself has been conquered for more than 30 years after being defeated in the cold war and is being destroyed from within by the hands of traitors. Russian troops and special forces units are controlled by specially trained Israeli saboteurs. All war crimes are committed under their supervision. There are also secret NATO bases on the territory of the country, although on TV everyone is scared of a possible invasion by their troops. I am sure that European television scares everyone with Russian troops.. This is the tactic of our common enemies. The WW3 cannot be avoided, and this is obvious, because this is their global plan to destroy as many white peoples as possible and officially establish their one world government. The New World Order, that's what they call it. If people do not realize who the enemy of all mankind really is, then all the countries of Europe will be completely enslaved and a lot of people will die. All wars and depopulation are organized and financed by bankers and their controlled corporations, and corrupt governments of any country fulfill this order, and it has always been so.
As for preparing for these times, it is better to have a secluded place away from populated areas where there are no roads nearby. It is necessary to stock up on sublimates, clothes and shoes for all seasons and store it all in airtight plastic barrels. We also need a good water filter, as we are all poisoned with chemtrails every day and these poisons penetrate into the soil and water. We all need to survive until 2030😎

Hej, I'm a city person, and your voice is new to me. I haven't seen agriculture close up since i was a kid in the 70s and saame with DH. My protein is born in little tubs at the grocery store. I play what if to be mentally prepared about everything, not that it would do any good as I'm reliant on medicines to sustain my life.
I was missing one part of your planning that I've thought about, but then you brought them in. One thing I would like to have around is a work horse. Quite litteraly. A sturdy breed that can be relied on for working the woods, preparing field, giving kiddi rides, and pulling my home if necessary. I, who doesn't know the first thing about horses, would opt for a Nordsvensk. Both DH and I are afraid of horses, but the Nordsvensk's we met, all two of them, seemed unflappable and thus less dangerous than most. They were used in agriculture back in the day and, if my reading is correct, doesn't need any fancy food to survive. They also didn't seem to plot our demise on sight, which was very kind of them.
For cows, I thought about Fjällko or similar. They've been around since the dawn of time, can live on meagar food, and seem to be understanding about people not having a clue, hence my selection.
Why would you need a cow or a goat at all? You seem to have sheep. Can't they serve a similar purpose? My question is genuine. I don't know. You get fleece at least once a year, if you know how to give them a haircut, the male lambs can be dinner (because inbreeding is a thing), and the ewe lambs you don't need for your own flock can be bartered, for even more genetic diversity. You can milk ewes too. There are cheeses all over the continent made with sheeps milk. For protecting your flocks though, goats, ducks and gease seems to work, from my reading. Can you tell I have way too much free time. I can warmly recommend the book Alas, Babylon. It was written back in the Pig Bay era, but it's way too current for my taste. From that book I implore you to protect the barn tap. It might be a life savior
In my squaggle of misfits, I had also added one to three alpacas. Their fleece shuld be more idiot proof than sheep as long as you know how to shear, and that's was what I felt we needed, unagricutural as we are. It will take time to learn the skills of the earliest of 20th century from scratch, so to have something to barter looked good. I think I can learn how to get from fleece to yarn if I put my mind to it, and I know how to knit, and thusly I can be of some use.
For you and, as I don't know your situation, a root cellar (jordkällare) could be good, if you don't have one already. Visiting grandparents made me believe in the benefits. Even if they were as city as I am, they had one at their summer house. It was so exciting to go with Farmor, to get potatoes and things from down there. They also had an apple loft. I was never allowed to go up there but from reading, I understand that it must stay frost free, and you basically have to have all the aples in a single layer, and check on them so one apple doesn't ruin the lot. Theirs was in the attic of the old sheep house, but as I said, it was off limits for 8 years old me. The place hadn't been used as a smallholding for a very long time, and my grandparents forbade us from go there.
That's how far I've gotten in my what if? for how me and mine could possibly survive without a working state, for an extended time, and go into the forests. We do habe a lot of them, but as long as we stay out of woods owned by people like you, and wander into church land or something, I would impose with impunity.
For the shorter time of your musings, make sure that you have a proper radio, and means to keep it going. That's a way to assess what's going on outside your controlled area. The phone and data systems seem to be the first to go, so books on everything.
If you're feeling fancy you could add a VHS radio for communicating with neighbours, and if you really want to go all out, there's what I only know as Ham radio. With one of those, you can communicate with the rest of the world if you want without the need for satellites. I don't know anything about HAM, so a google now might set you up for success later.
I seriously envy your cast iron stove. Those give you the best heat, and you can cook and heat your room from the same lob, at the same time. The ashes can go back to your garden, or into your latrine. I don't know why, but that's what my bestie grewin up did that at their outhouse.
For any reader that's still here, I'm honored, think of it as a proto AGA cooking range. You put wood into parts if it, light it, make sure that the chimney draft is correct, pull up a chair and warm up your feet. Later on you can cook and bake anythig you want in it too. If you bank the fire correctly you will wake up to a warm kitchen, and with a fresh log in, you can cook Christmas dinner if you fancy takes you that way.
For a short term survival, I'm leaning towards buying a large enough catamaran and sail around Oceania until it's over. My actions are nowhere near my ideas, but they have kept me sane in these interestng times. Vänligen, Anncha (pronounced Ann in English)

This is a fantastic video. Love the cinematography.

I like listening to you, I can tell you are a very intelligent woman, I love the farm animals you have and the dog

Maybe you get yourself some Goose the are an exzellent warningsystem/security and Taste 😊very good

I would rather get Milk Sheep rather than goats. I don't know the law in your country but you might be able to use a fish trap we are not allowed to use them in the UK but I know how to make them. . If you can learn how to spin and weave these could be things you can do over winter. Some herbalism and forageing skills are good to have under your belt, if you have to run and hide you will be leaving your resource's behind and these can come in handy. Look at hand tools things like a hand wood spliter hand lundary tub oh and loads of hand winches and pully's . Find out how to prosses the lanolin from the sheep wool this is a great water proofer as will as hand cream, soap making with wood ash and as you will be bee keeping candle making might be good to put on your todo list.

Great video!! My take on it – Rather have it (be prepared) and not need it, than need it and not have it! I would say some things food wise would be grain/corn and a hand mill for grinding into flours. A solar dehydrator that can be used for drying herbs and vegetables for storage. Crops I would go for some good root veg like you said thats protein rich. Tomatoes and peppers can be dried or canned for later use and will also add some vitamins and other beneficial nutrients to your diet. Zucchini is great for multiple things, can be eaten fresh, canned, baked into bread and muffins and also make flour. Also keep in mind crops that are easy to seed save from and are heirlooms. If you cant get more seeds easily then you need crops that you can save from. Herbs if you can find perennials. I would get a good stockpile of glass canning jars to store dried food and canned food. Whilst not in use can be stored with water in for emergencies like not being able to get to the well or barn faucet. Candles for if and when you run out of lamp oil. A go bag. My mom always made us keep a go bag with important things like some spare clothes, some meds, a passport, cash, ID. If something happens and you need to get out fast all you need is to grab your emergency backpack. I would add a small torch, battery bank and charging cable for phone, a good knife and maybe some sort of dried food ration that will keep for a long time. Make sure your go bag med kit has anti-inflammatories, pain killers, band aids, at least one bandage roll, some electrolyte sachets, Imodium tablets, alcohol swabs and medkit scissors. A small sewing kit with needles and thread will also be useful as it can be used to mend clothes or as an emergency kit for stitches. This all sounds extreme but rather be prepared for any eventuality and not need it than need it and not have it.

Love the video. I have slowly been learning ways to survive with nothing. It gives me the security knowing I don't have to have anything to survive if necessary.

Maybe you should look into growing some Buckwheat (Bovete). It's rich in protein, minerals and fibers (it is also gluten free). Roasted buckwheat is a staple food in the east.

I'm not all too worried a war would come, I think a lot of it is fearmongering , that said, better safe than sorry.
Living in the city I'm pretty prepped for as far that is possible in a city. Natural remedies for health are great, preventative even better. Mullein oil (repiratory ailments), Oregano oil, nano silver (for a natural antibiotic) , fenbendazole for a good detox and when having parasites, like also ivermectin. The list is endless really. I think our best medicine is in nature and not the pharamacy. I reccomend binge watching and listening to Barbara O'Neil , her lectures are epic on natural health. Good to think of all those things, just in case
Ps. Kale is a good vegetable to have too, and fermented foods they last forever and good for the gut

enjoying the vlogs – keep them coming…all the best!!
